"When the child's temperature exceeds 38.5℃, take two antipyretic drugs, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, alternately." "If you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and intermittent heartbeat, you can take vitamin C." On April 24, the "New Crown Second Wave Self-Help Manual" circulated on social platforms. Li Dongzeng, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases at Beijing You'an Hospital, told a reporter from People's Daily Health Client that this manual is "very unreliable."
The "Self-Help Manual" provides guidance on medication for COVID-19 symptoms. For example, when a child's temperature exceeds 38.5℃, take ibuprofen and acetaminophen alternately to reduce fever; when itchy and inflamed eyes occur, it may be conjunctivitis caused by infection with a new strain of the virus, and you can drop some acyclovir, ribavirin, etc. to relieve the discomfort; when diarrhea does not stop, you can take montmorillonite powder, which can relieve symptoms in the short term; if you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, you can take some vitamin C... "New Crown Second Wave Self-Help Manual" circulated on the Internet Li Dongzeng pointed out to the reporter of the People's Daily Health Client that it is not recommended to use antipyretics alternately; ribavirin and acyclovir have no effect on the new coronavirus and influenza virus; if you have persistent high fever, shortness of breath, and wheezing, you need to seek medical attention in time. There are currently no drugs or health products that can really improve immunity. "People at high risk of severe illness should go to the hospital in time to assess whether to receive antiviral treatment as soon as possible." Li Ran, deputy chief physician of the Department of Infection and Clinical Microbiology at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, told the reporter of People's Daily Health Client that this manual is not scientific. "It is not recommended to take antipyretics alternately. Drink more water when you have a fever to avoid dehydration. In addition, in this season, itchy eyes need to be identified as allergic. Antidiarrheal drugs are not recommended for viral diarrhea. Drugs that regulate intestinal flora and oral rehydration salts can be used." The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council released a reference list of commonly used drugs for home treatment of patients infected with the new coronavirus In December 2022, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the "Guidelines for Home Treatment of COVID-19 Infected Patients", which provided a reference for commonly used drugs for home treatment of COVID-19 infected patients. In addition, the World Health Organization also issued the "Rehabilitation Guidance Manual" for COVID-19, providing the public with a reference for response plans. Source: Health Times |
